Tyler

Tyler ISD has created a Web site to inform citizens about the district's $124.9 million bond election set for Nov. 4.

According to TISD, those interested can visit www.tylerisd.org and click the "Bond 2008" link to view the proposal materials.

The bond issue, which would replace six campuses, is a continuation of the school district's effort to address facility needs through a four-phase plan laid out in 2004.

Voters approved a Phase 1 bond issue in 2004 for $95.9 million. That included the construction of six replacement schools -- Bell, Ramey, Douglas, Austin, Bonner and Peete elementary schools -- and one new campus, Jack Elementary. Peete, the last to be completed, opened in January.

Under the current proposal for Phase 2, Clarkston, Griffin, Jones, Orr and Woods elementary schools as well as the St. Louis School for students with special needs would be replaced.

Several categories of information are available to voters on the new Web site, including the proposed projects, student growth, the estimated tax rate, frequently asked questions and the 2004 bond overview.

The deadline to become a registered voter for the November election is Oct. 6.
